The Mississippi State Port at Gulfport lost its lifting facilities and cranes, and the waves deposited cargo containers as far as a block north of U.S. 90.
Scores of people were feared dead along the Mississippi coast after Monday's storm surge, which reached as high as 30 feet.

Keep an eye on 'Irene'. Two possible new storms are forming in mid-Atlantic. The southern of the two is the biggest and might make a Gulf track if inland air pressure zones enable it. See map at.

Another one even half as bad as Katrina would be a kill-shot.
